It seems from the look of my life and my writing, I really like Justin Bieber. I’m pretty sure that I’m actually 10 years old, but that’s neither here nor there. This post is the start of a new theme in my blog about things that have happened to me…that I hope never happen to you. This is the time I met Justin Bieber. As a freshman RTVF major, I didn’t really have a lot going on academically. Sure I had homework but meh, it’s RTVF. I spent a lot of my time searching for funny videos on Youtube, and one fateful day I stumbled across itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, Justin Bieber. No one had ever heard of him. He has just another kid with a guitar on the internet. I watched his video of him performing Cry Me A River and instantly fell in love. Yes I was 19 at the time, and yes he was, well, not old enough to ride a roller coaster by himself. Sometimes you just can’t help what your heart wants. I fell in love with him. He was just so damn cute! I wanted to cut his hair off and sprinkle it in my bed, he was just so darned cute. Anyways, I showed the video to my roommate, and she too fell in love with him. We were obsessed. I continued to forward the video to my friends, considering I had to share the love affair. Still, no one had ever heard of him. Fast forward to the summer… I was interning at 103.5 Kiss FM under Ty Bentli in Chicago three days a week after giving tours in the morning. I would hang out in the studio from 4-8, basically fooling around with callers. It was a pretty great internship. Ty’s always in the know of what’s really popular in the media, and I told him about Justin Bieber (one of my many male obsessions). He hadn’t heard of him UNTIL his producer told him that Justin would be coming by the studio to promote his first single One Time. Ty told me and I threw up rainbows and dreams of pedophilic misdemeanors. The other interns I worked with thought I was a kook, but the day he came was the greatest day ever. I came in the office with butterflies taking shits in my stomach. It was great. I waited in the DJ studio for him to come in…

Let’s back track a little bit. The number one man in my life is Robert Pattinson. No questions asked. If you’ve ever seen my facebook, you’d recognize the picture of my on head with Kristen Stewart’s body and Robert Pattinson from a Vanity Fair photo shoot. Everyone in the studio knew of my fascination with R Patz and they let me put that picture up as the desktops to all the computers. Flash Forward… So back in the studio, I’m filming Justin Bieber as he walks into the DJ studio and he sits down at a chair front of the computer and proceeds to stay, ” Whoah, what is this on the screen? This is super creepy”.

It's always best using a default desktop.

I don’t blush very often, but at that moment my face turned BRIGHT red, and everyone in the studio burst out laughing. Justin looks at me, back at the desktop, and then back to me and says, “Is that you?” I quickly denied it, but he replied saying, “No, that’s totally you. That’s really creepy and weird”. For the rest of the afternoon, Biebs wouldn’t stand next to me. When he left, he hugged all the interns (even the dudes) and then waved to me. Awesome.

From that day on, I vowed to someday meet him again and re-introduce myself but not as a creepy tween trapped in a 19 year old’s body. That was the time I met (and humiliated myself in front of) Justin Bieber, teen sensation.
